Description

Retail prices of more than 50 food items are collected each week at representative stores of the major food chains in Edmonton. The prices are weighted to account for the estimated market share held by each chain as well as the relative importance of each item in the total food-at-home budget. The purpose of the survey is to continue to build upon the historical series of benchmark retail food prices which we have been collecting for Edmonton since the early 1970s. The data series provides accurate, timely and reliable data on retail food prices for use in business analysis and planning. It is also used by the health care services sector in programs involving food security issues, nutrition and education, and policy, planning and advocacy work.

Description

Farm business managers have many important factors to consider in the running of their operations. However, one of the more significant factors any farm business manager must weigh carefully is the effect taxation will have on the operation of the farm business. To help farm business managers with these concerns, this publication will discuss various tax strategies and rules that directly affect the agricultural sector. But changes in tax law are continually being made, so this material should not be considered as an interpretation or a replacement for the legislation. Specific problems regarding tax management decisions should be referred to an accountant, lawyer or tax advisor who is aware of changes that may have happened since the preparation of this publication. Any final decision should be based on the exact wording of the law.
